Thursday Night Previews: Boo 2 Misses Boo’s Debut with $760,000
October 20, 2017
Tyler Perry’s Boo 2: A Madea Halloween earned $760,000 during its previews last night, which is lower than the $855,000 the first Boo! managed last year. Its early reviews are lower than the original’s reviews were, so that will also likely mean lower legs. This will make it difficult to match our $25 million prediction, but it should come relatively close.
Only the Brave picked up $305,000 on Thursday night, which is a little lower than anticipated. On the other hand, it still has the best reviews, so its legs should be longer than the other films on this list giving it a shot at a spot in the top five.
The Snowman was next with $270,000 in previews. Tracking had the film earning $10 million, we had it pulling in $8 million, but even that seems optimistic now. Granted, its target audience was unlikely to rush out to see the movie during midnight shows, but its reviews are only 10% positive, so anyone who did see it will likely contribute to negative word-of-mouth.
Neither Geostorm nor Same Kind of Different as Me had previews last night. It is not surprising that a faith-based film would skip previews. It is devastating that a $100 million disaster film would do the same. Clearly the studio has no faith in Geostorm.
